Chapter Summaries

After the Fate Fruit gave Zhou Heng 0.4 gold free attribute points and hints about the repaired Second Chapter world, he used his stored silver attributes to prepare for the level 10000 enemy.

Zhou Heng advanced through the Inverted World, while Aise Lincaid and the other species witnessed the power of his Sea of Stars Hall of Heroes.

Zhou Buku studied Zhou Heng’s overwhelming attributes and devised a plan to kill him with his Red Name title before Zhou Heng could use the Elegant Compassionate Flute. As Zhou Heng advanced through the Inverted World, Zhou Buku waited for him, torn between confidence in his strategy and a growing sense of dread.

• Crimson 10000 suspected that Zhou Heng knew he was racing against time and considered how to bypass his Grievance units to attack him directly.
• Zhou Buku reviewed his attributes and recalled how reincarnation, his class, Gene Sequence, and Abyss Erosion had raised his total base attributes to 12.96 trillion.

• Zhou Buku closed his eyes and waited for Zhou Heng, haunted by unease and the voices of the Zhou clan members he had killed.

• As Zhou Heng prepared to open his Legendary Second Tier Refinement Path, an eroded message appeared with the surviving words, “Must not... close... flee...,” and a Fate Hint began to appear.

Zhou Heng used Fate Hint to recognize that the Longevity-Cursed Species had tampered with the telegram and Friends List, then pretended to trust the warning so they would believe he knew its contents. After opening the Galaxy Transcendence Rankings, he was confronted by the Galaxy Holy Crusaders, who threatened to become his next opponents.

• Fate Hint warned Zhou Heng that the telegram and the Skysea of the Empty Realm were traps, while the Friends List was entirely fake.

• Aise Lincaid chose to give Zhou Heng the prophecy-related objects, and forces from across the Inverted World assembled Heaven and Earth: Ring and a ball of light for him.
• Zhou Heng received Heaven and Earth: Ring, learned it was reserved for Black Ring, and suspected the Longevity-Cursed Species had left it for him to find.

• Zhou Heng grasped The Bystander Statue, causing the world before him to twist as he entered the trial of Compassion Heaven and Earth.

Zhou Heng witnessed the second chapter’s tragic history and met the Merciful Holy Mother, who entrusted him with the Compassion Priest trial and warned him about its resurrection mechanism. He began his second-tier legendary tempering as the Longevity Crusaders approached and discovered he had already earned a hidden achievement for evacuating everyone in the second chapter.

• Zhou Heng touched the white waterfall in the vision and, after drinking from the Wine Gourd, watched scenes of the Sakaste Empire’s destruction and the Blue Star Federation’s attack.

• Zhou Heng began his second-tier legendary tempering, choosing among achievements involving killing Longevity Crusaders or evacuating the second chapter’s inhabitants.
• The Legendary Codex revealed Zhou Heng’s hidden achievement for safely evacuating 100% of the second chapter’s living beings, and a Fate Hint appeared.

• As the Inverted World began to shatter, Zhou Heng looked toward the approaching figures and prepared to face Wang Daosheng.

• Zhou Heng revived again as a new notification from Fate appeared.

Zhou Heng used his knowledge of Wang Daosheng’s plan to turn the longevity-cursed species’ ultimate attack against him and imprison his Encrypted Black Aura.

• Zhou Heng ordered the Starry Sky Dragon to damage itself, gave it a Starlight Leaf · Seed Tear, and sent it toward the darkness, telling it to conceal their connection.

• On June 1, year 10004 of the Online Game Era, the Time-Space Cat reached 100% hatching progress and poked its head out of the eggshell.

Zhou Heng’s Time-Space Cat urged him to summon the Lord of Time and Space, and he followed Fate Hint’s advice to visualize the deity. After enduring a dangerous encounter with the corrupted Lord, Zhou Heng declared that he could handle the Sakast Region himself.

• Zhou Heng inspected the newly hatched Time-Space Cat and learned its abilities, including Time Reversal and a way to travel between the Fifth and Tenth Chapters.

Zhou Heng learned that the Lord of Time and Space Stillness had been corrupted, and the Time-Space Cat became a Time-Space Apostle after the Lord touched it. He chose to absorb the cat into his Fusion Core, and after two months the merger created the Time-Space Core (Fusion Mechanical Body), leaving him ready to inspect his enhanced skills.

• The Lord of Time and Space Stillness warned Zhou Heng to treat time and space carefully, touched the Time-Space Cat, and was swallowed by black light as Zhou Heng was expelled.

• Two months later, Zhou Heng awoke as the merger finished and created the Time-Space Core (Fusion Mechanical Body).
• Zhou Heng reviewed the new core's powerful attributes and opened the Skills tab to examine the enhanced Time Corrector skill set.

Zhou Heng realized the upgraded Time Corrector might let him locate the Nine Question Marks Secret Realm, so he returned to the Tenth Chapter to gather lifespan and raise his maximum lifespan. Meanwhile, Eight-Petaled Longevity-Cursed Species arrived across the Tenth Chapter, targeting the Sakas Emperor's Glorious Secret Realm and Zhou Heng.
